Forgive the Roughlayout or Second Paper Brainstorm

After reading my educational narrative I wanted to get across to my readers that sometimes the silly “useless” things that you learn in life sometimes may turn out to be handy. We to often dismiss things are useless and not worth knowing. Sometimes the alternative may prove to be true.

NOTES
Sir Ken Robinson TED Talk

“we dont grow into creativity, we grow out of it”
Education prioritizes math/science/factory work over creativity - art, humanities etc
More people will be formally educated in the next 30 years than in all of human history before that

Memorable Teachers
Mr Mewinney - Hard line, was always right, pretentious. Had a teaching style that I could learn from.
Rocky Smith - Art teacher, did not learn much about given tasks but still recieved a good grade in class despite this
Carolyn Love - Drama teacher. Hard line, “scary” things were learned. Tech theater/drama. You could fail but it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Ideas -
Different teaching styles. leaniency vs hard expectations. Which produced better results? (subjective?)
Not sticking to a lesson plan, better learned subjects?
Rocky - graded my “work” on its own merit not based on how it compared to the lesson plan. Allowed me to get an A in the class in spite of not doing over half of the assignments. I was still doing something in the class that was “art” related and as a result graded that on effort.

Mewinney - Started the week with an outline on the board that we took the first twenty minutes of class copying down in a specific format. Used rest of week to go over outline as the lesson plan. Hard structure but taught note taking skills.

Carolyn - Expected students to give a strong effort. she was commonly the casting director for the school plays. Didn’t cast many “ensemble” plays. There were ten roles to be cast and many trying out for different roles. Most wouldnt get a role. Favoritism vs actual skill.
